Median and quantile differences of the distributions presented in Figs. 12 and 13.

Region	Median	Quantile difference

		20%	10%	5%
Overdense bar	0.001	0.14	0.3	0.5
Underdense bar	−0.018	0.22	0.39	0.61

Spiral arms	0.001	0.1	0.17	0.26
Interarm	0.004	0.1	0.2	0.39

Notes. The quantile difference indicates the difference between upper and lower percent quantile, for example 20% means the difference between the upper and lower 20% quantile.
